New Robert Pete Williams compilation

(1/1)

jostber:
Robert Pete Williams - Blues On My Mind. New compilation on Sunset Boulevard records. The first 10 songs are a reissue of the Louisiana Blues album on Takoma (one of his finest), but the second part is scarce and unreleased songs. Worth checking out.


‘The most avant- garde blues performer ever recorded. No punk rock band has ever matched the jagged acerbic fury of the riffs Williams played 35 years ago. No rapper has approached his ability to evoke the torment of life in prison or bend language to cast an eerie spell over a chance encounter with a seductive woman’ (New York Times).
‘It’s difficult to approve the banalities of most blues singers after listening to Robert Pete Williams’ (Peter Guralnick, Feel Like Going Home).

The ten tracks of the classic Louisana Blues album recorded in July 1966 in Berkeley under the supervision of John Fahey for his Takoma imprint… plus scarce or previously unreleased studio and live recordings made in France and Italy in 1977-78.

A limited-edition CD.
